Heading to pick up our sailor from A school now and what a great surprise we don't have to take him back till we leave for the airport on Sunday!!!

Make sure your Sailors have a working phone card for the airport...until you can hand off their cell phones if you brought them.

Anybody going to Midway in the wee hours?

I don't think so. You'll have to coordinate a time to meet at security before you take him back.

Can I call him in the USO on an airport phone?

Has anyone gotten the call to pick up from A school yet???

USO is after security at Midway. Your Sailor will have to meet you at security to get you in

Such an amazing day! PIR was incredible and there are no words to describe the wave of pride and emotion!! I'm so excited for you that have yet to experience it. Hooyah!!!

Doles anybody remember the difference between the USO access at Midway as opposed to O'Hare? The flights to Pensacola are out of Midway, at least for my son. I want to know what I need to do to get into the USO there.
